Stewardship - the personal responsibility for looking after things, in this case the environment. No one should damage the present or future environment

Conservation - the careful and planned use of resources in order ton manage the natural environment for future generations

The aims of ecotourism:
  • to be environmentally friendly
  • use more renewable sources of energy
  • recycle waste products
  • to involve local people at all levels of planning and during operation - this can include jobs and training
  • build small-scale non-intrusive hotels where people can stay
The two videos are very useful for looking at Ecotourism. The video on the left is about ecotourism in Bolivia. The second video contains a lot of background information and some useful case studies. When revising you should make notes about each of the videos and learn them.
